Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

ding buildings either.

According to the plan, semi-commercial villas had their own entrances.
This would make it convenient for cars to come in and out.

The restaurant would not have too many customers as well.
At the very most, Pei Qian would bring his employees here for a meal.
They would only have meals here and would not engage in other activities like singing.
By 8 PM, they would be gone.
That would ensure that they did not disturb the residents.

Compared to the shops he chose earlier, this place was located much deeper in the area as well.
It would be much harder for people to find it!

Who would expect a restaurant to be hidden among a bunch of villas?

Pei Qian was overjoyed.
See, this was a blessing in disguise! I had to give up the few shop spaces that I found, but I ended up stumbling upon an even better location!

The only question is whether I can rent a villa and how much that rent is.
If I can’t, I wonder if I can buy it.

According to the System, Pei Qian could not purchase and invest in property on a large scale.

However, he wanted to use System Funds to buy a semi-commercial villa in order to open a high-end restaurant under his business name.
He would not be purchasing properties in bulk, and he would not be investing in the property market either.
There shouldn’t be a problem, right?

At that thought, Pei Qian led Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan straight into Ming Yun Villas.

Zhang Yuan was even more confused.

What is Boss Pei doing?

Was he hoping to buy a villa for himself just because they accidentally stumbled upon Ming Yun Villas and he suddenly felt like it?

Yes, given Boss Pei’s income, it should not be that difficult for him to purchase a villa here.

Zhang Yuan did not think too much and continued following behind Pei Qian.

When they arrived at the sales building, Pei Qian explained the purpose of their visit.
The lady at the front desk made a call and then offered drinks to the three men.
About half an hour later, Manager Cui rushed over.

While rushing over, Manager Cui had felt confused.
Why was a customer taking the initiative to approach the sales building today? This was mysterious!

This was like people taking the initiative to approach insurance companies, wanting to buy insurance.
It’s unheard of.

From the get-go, Ming Yun Villas has been up for sale.
Almost a year has passed since.
Interested ballers would have bought their villas a long time ago.
Why would they wait until now?

Yet, whatever it was, it was a good thing that customers were coming of their own accord.
Even if they were not sincere about buying a villa and merely wanted to take a look, Manager Cui still had to host them.

After greeting Manager Cui, Pei Qian got straight to the point.

“Manager Cui, can I rent a hilltop villa?”

Manager Cui had just sat down and taken a sip of tea.
He nearly choked on his drink when he heard the question.

The young man in front of him was dressed in a custom-made suit.
He did not look poor.
Yet, he was not here to buy a villa but to rent one?

According to the relevant regulations-if developers had ownership of the properties, they could rent them out.

However, who could afford to rent villas?

If they really rented the villas according to market price, it would cost about two to three hundred thousand yuan a month to rent a villa.
Who would be bored enough to rent a villa in such a deserted place? This area was not even suited for living long-term.

What’s more—even if people really were interested in renting the villas, the developer was not.

The villas had all been uniquely renovated.
The pools and various furniture also had to be regularly maintained.
Every now and then, they would have to be cleaned and repaired.
For all they knew, a baller would take a liking to the villa; and they would be able to sell it.

Maintenance problems aside—even if they rented the villas out, the developers would only get two or three hundred thousand yuan a month.
They really did not care for that.

Manager Cui looked apologetic as he said, “I’m really sorry, Sir.
We can only sell our villas, not rent them out.”Pei Qian nodded.
He had been prepared for this.
“Is that so? What a pity.
I have no choice but to buy one then.”

He said this for the System to hear.
Look, I tried to save the company’s money.
I’ve found a villa suitable to turn into a high-end restaurant, but the developers would only sell the villas, not rent them out!

Manager Cui looked confused and shocked.

What did he mean by ‘What a pity, I have no choice but to buy one then’?!

Why did he sound reluctant?!

Pei Qian sipped his drink and asked about the price.

Manager Cui quickly answered, “If you’re looking at our hilltop villas, they are almost six hundred square meters big.
They have independent lifts, pools, gardens, and maintenance.
They are being sold at about twelve thousand yuan per square meter.
That adds up to about 6.3 million yuan in total.”

Pei Qian remained silent for a moment and said, “It doesn’t sound… too expensive.”
